Out vs. Syracuse Calmese (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's game against Syracuse.

Impact Calmese has been the starting floor general for Wake Forest most of the season, so his absence will hurt the team considerably. He's averaging 10.1 points and 4.8 assists per game, and since he won't be running the point Saturday, look for Sebastian Atkins and Myles Colvin to see more minutes in the backcourt.

Game-time call at BC Calmese (ankle) is a game-time decision for Wednesday's game at Boston College.

Impact Calmese was questionable in Tuesday's report, and he'll now be an official game-time decision as he inches towards a return after a six-game absence. The senior guard's sprained right ankle has progressively been getting better as of late. He shed his walking boot a week ago and was given a one-to-two-week timeline for return at that point. If he's unable to get to action against the Eagles, Calmese will aim to make his return versus Syracuse this Saturday.

Likely needs one-to-two weeks Calmese (ankle) is scheduled to shed his protective boot Monday but is still one-to-two weeks away from returning, per Cam Lemons Debro of 247Sports.

Impact Calmese's latest update brings both uplifting and worrisome news from Wake Forest. The positive part is that Calmese sheds his protective boot, meaning he can test the injured ankle without limitations. Though the senior will sit out at least two more games, he can return as early as Feb. 24, when Wake Forest will be at Boston College. Yet, if Calmese needs two weeks, his return date will be pushed back to March, and the question becomes whether or not he can return before WF's regular season comes to a close.

Wake Forest didn't exactly record many notable non-conference wins and is off to a 1-3 start to league play.
